I had a great day, a great evening, aaaannnnndddd… I came home to this:

It’s our wedding invitations! Wheeeeee! They are gorgeous and perfect and beautiful and I love love LOVE them! I ordered them from Etsy – Invites By Jen. She was amazing to worth and very accommodating and patient and reasonably priced! LOVE it!

Ok, so, anyway, on the the awesomeness that is otherwise known as my day.

Breakfast

It was fantastic to come downstairs this morning and be greeted by smiling flowers that Jen brought over last night!

And I didn’t have any cookies for my tea or anything so I settled on a hunk of chocolate. Don’t hate.

Lunch

Leftovers from last night, I had 2 salmon patties with the mayo-y sauce and the herbed salad. The salad was a little wilty/slimy but the herb flavors were so good!

I ended up getting half a can of Amy’s Black Bean Soup plopped down in front of me because they didn’t like it so I ended up sharing half my salmon patty with them.

I like the soup!

And another piece of chocolate.

(I might be hormonal.)

Dinner

Sometime this morning, Jen, you know, the girl I met from TDP that came over last night? Well, she texted me and we ended up meeting up for dinner again which worked out perfectly since the boy had plans for after work drinks and dinner stuff.

I met her at her hotel room and she immediately presented me with this glorious little sight!

Booya! We are classy!

It went down easy!

After gossiping chatting, we finally got it together and went to dinner downtown. She had been to Elliott’s Oyster House for Happy Hour and was so impressed that she wanted to go back for dinner. I had never been so I was all in!

It’s right on the waterfront and we got positioned at a table with a great view of the ferry terminal right at dusk.

The restaurant was very nice; a much classier joint than my typical fare.

We were instantly presented with a bread basket, and of course I indulged in one!

And we ordered drinks, naturally.

I went with a Mango Mojito that was dreamy!

We split an appetizer of crab cakes since Jen is obsessed with crab cakes.

The sauce was fantastic. I ended up dunking my bread in it!

Jen and I went back and forth on our entrees but luckily we were both willing to share which made the decision a whole lot easier!

I ended up with the Scallop Risotto.

Worth. Every. Penny. Bacon in risotto? Oh yes, please!

And Jen ordered crab and wild mushroom ravioli.

I took a small portion of it on my bread plate.

The basil flavor in the ravioli was fantastic! And I love asparagus!

We contemplated dessert but passed. It was such a decadent meal! The boy will be jealous. 😉

It was really nice watching it get darker and darker and the city lights coming out to play!

And apparently I suck at taking pictures of actual people because this is the only photo I got of Jen all night!

Being a tourist. 😉

Tomorrow is FRIDAY! And the boy has the day off! I have to work but I know he’ll get some stuff done.

I only work 12-4 on Sunday and I have a lot to accomplish this weekend, especially in the way of invitations!! We have ~75ish to send out. I think I am going the label route for addressing them because our handwriting sucks and I’m not paying someone to write them and I really just don’t care that much! Haha…
